Like a snake eating its own tail, the castaways will start the episode on the boat, they will go on land, they will end the episode on the boat. Apparently the boat runs off salt water. There will be no zombies/floaters/walkers/shamblers/deadies but Maddie will maintain her flawless resting bitch face.

I'm still trying to figure out how Flight 482 manages to crash on a beach and our intrepid crew on the S.S. Abigail manage to find them.

 

The last time Flight 482 was seen, Nick looked up into the sky and appeared to be descending into LAX after the window blew out.  It appeared to make a yaw correction, but it continued flying. And it's not like walkers got into the cockpit since, you know, the door is nearly always locked.

 

Plus, if that plane crashed during its descent, it would have happened well over a week ago in showtime.  Nick spotted Flight 482 in episode 3 of Season 1 -- that was before Nick spent a couple of days in military lockup, and they spent a day or two at Strand's house, and several days at sea on the Abigail including a sidetrip to the island last episode.

 

Maybe they tried to land on one of the offshore islands -- like Santa Catalina, San Clemente or San Nicolas island since they all have airstrips -- but there wouldn't be numerous walkers on any of those (other than walkers from the crashed plane).  I somehow doubt Strand would take the Abigail for a visit to LAX.

There could actually be a lot of walkers on Catalina Island -- it's got about 5000+ year-round residents.  The other Channel Islands are much more remote and have almost no one -- if anyone -- living on them.  Catalina is just about 22-26 miles off the coast of Los Angeles and it takes one hour to get there from Long Beach, so there are always lots of visitors there as well.

 

Last week they referred to Catalina as "Catrina" island.

We were supposed to be paying attention  during the plane scenes?

[calliope1975]

We were supposed to be paying attention  during the plane scenes?

 

Apparently so. I suspect badass Asian lady is the only one of this group who will survive.

[mightysparrow]

I know who Alex is but I have no idea who the other two are.

[NorthstarATL]

What's O.K.? Killing him? Eating him? Using him as shark bait? Why isn't he more specific? Alex is not a mind reader.

[TVFan17]

I know who Alex is but I have no idea who the other two are.

 

Maybe random red-shirty folks.

[NorthstarATL]

I know who Alex is but I have no idea who the other two are.

Chum and Chumley.

[Peanut]

I was more interested in the plight of the plane people than I am of most of the rest of our hardy band of morons.

[mightysparrow]

Is anybody besides Strand keeping watch?

[calliope1975]

Is the crispy one the boy child from the plane? 

[NorthstarATL]

Again why I advocate sleeping alone post-ZA. Your partner dies, even accidentally, and you are breakfast.

Is anybody besides Strand keeping watch?

Strand is the only one who counts.

"My MAN???" yeah, that got to her.

Well, that answers one question!

[Peanut]

Um.  Shouldn't they have been prepared for it to be a zombie blocking the water intake?  That would've been my first guess.  I'm guessing Travis is unarmed.  So even if a random shark rolled up, he'd be toast.  

 

And yeah, the crispy guy is the kid from the plane.  Too bad. I liked him. 

[mightysparrow]

Travis should have taken someone with him.  These people want to live the good life but they don't seem willing to put in any effort to keeping themselves alive

[econ07]

If they are concerned with Strand, why don't the other adults rotate sleeping schedules to keep watch on Strand.

[mightysparrow]

Once again, Travis is doing the repairs by himself while the rest of the Ship of Fools get their beauty sleep.

[eejm]

Thumbs up to Ofelia's Walgreen's comment.

[NorthstarATL]

I love  Stark! "I know you're not running on my deck."

[calliope1975]

These idiots will take any opportunity to put themselves in danger.

[TVFan17]

She mentioned Walgreens?  Walgreens is getting a lot of attention this week (Prince was seen at Walgreens not long before he passed).

[NorthstarATL]

Daniel's taking the kids he doesn't consider a priority. Maybe he won't bring them back?

Hair care products Nick! Hair care!

[eejm]

Mr. eejm is certain Strand is a giant con artist.  More and more I'm thinking he's right.

[Peanut]

Why are they standing around on the beach?  Just start opening the damn suitcases.  

[riverheightsnancy]

Oh look, its an episode of Lost! 

[NorthstarATL]

These kids are terrible scavengers.

[mightysparrow]

Where's Little Lord Fauntleroy going?

[riverheightsnancy]

OMG, Chris just meandering around like a sunny day in the park and then takes off on his own. 

[Peanut]

Please let Chris wander off and be left behind. 

[NorthstarATL]

No Nick! You can't just cover it up!

[SoSueMe]

That's some bad hat Nick.

[econ07]

So no CB's between the boat and the shore?

[calliope1975]

OMG, Chris just meandering around like a sunny day in the park and then takes off on his own. 

 

They're like, yay, hundreds of people have died. Let's play dress up. 

 

Though, if it gets that old man jacket to finally go away, I'll grudgingly approve.

[phalange]

Did Nick finally change clothes?! It's a miracle!

 

They really need to up their scavenging game. Time is of the essence, people.

[riverheightsnancy]

Have they not seen enough zombies in LA? They must stick together and work the area together. The stupidity has no bounds. 

[mightysparrow]

Chris is looking for some infected to kill.  This kid is a waste of life.

[econ07]

Yes, let's go in the plane and portray every horror/thriller/adventure stereotype of stupid behavior.

[Peanut]

Oh. My. Ceiling Cat.

 

Chris is even stupider than my most clueless freshman student.  

[SoSueMe]

Chris is tuning in to his inner killer self.

[riverheightsnancy]

Chris is looking for some infected to kill.  This kid is a waste of life.

That's what Carl did that time at CDB, but he was like 10 and a little kid. Chris should know better. 

Hey, it's Daryl! His hair looks clean! ;) 

[TVFan17]

Oh joy... Let's tune in to Ride with Norman Reedus, where we can hear him crack witty jokes like "You popped my desert cherry."  So clever.

"We're just going to eat each other alive." Prediction?

[SoSueMe]

Ooooh, Maddie, tough girl

[calliope1975]

"We're just going to eat each other alive." Prediction?

 

Along with "you're not a killer." Subtlety is not this show's strong suit.

[mightysparrow]

I can't believe Maddie had the nerve to threaten the man who saved her and her good-for-nothing family.  He should drop-kick her into the ocean and take off.

[NorthstarATL]

Nick knows his drugs!

Is that Carol's rosary?

[eejm]

Nick's knowledge of drugs = the Hershel of this show.

[riverheightsnancy]

Wow, Chris killed a person sooner than Glen did. 

[NorthstarATL]

"Where are you, you little bastard?" LOL!
